But then, Diesel is actually a thing that is sold. Diesel engines. Diesel fuel. While theoretically, someone could offer scrolls as a product, that doesn't really happen, so trademarking "Scrolls" as the name of a game makes sense. Also, Notch wanted to make a game called Scrolls, The Elder Scrolls is also a game. Both products are of the same industry.

But a clothes label called "Diesel" complaining about a game being called "DieselStormers" is a whole other level. When you go to a fuel station, you can buy Diesel fuel there. Diesel engines are a thing that have probably existed way longer than the fashion label (I dunno when the fashion label was founded, but probably much later than Diesel invented his engine). There's even a scifi/fantasy subgenre called Dieselpunk because its technology is Diesel-related, kinda like Cyberpunk and Steampunk are focused on cyber and steam tech. Just to clarify: THERE IS A GENRE CALLED DIESELPUNK BECAUSE DIESEL IS AN ACTUAL REAL TECHNOLOGY REFERRING TO MOTORS AND FUEL WHICH ARE ACTUALLY REALLY USED IN CARS NOWADAYS.

That's like me founding a company that makes toilet paper, calling it Petroleum, and then suing everyone who uses the name Petroleum in a computer game because my company is named Petroleum.

Inb4 pants makers sue VW for damaging their brand.

A thing? Skateboarding is still a crime.

That's the plot of Skate 2.

I understand, but hey, lawyers gonna lawyer.

Yeah, but considering how there is Diesel fuel, Diesel motors and Dieselpunk as a genre, they should have no right to copyright that word. It's like WalMart trying to copyright the word "Mart", or McDonalds copyrighting the word "Mc" and suing every scottish whisky distillery that has a "Mc" in its name. There shouldn't be any legal grounds for this shit. Then again, Kwa law is really fucked up in some aspects, so eh.

Kwa is fucked up, but Europe isn't necessarily better. Quite a few new and shitty IP issues have entered US law through harmonization with Europe via things like the Berne treaty. Globalization and the concomitant IP "harmonization" is kind of like an STD themed orgy where every country gives every other country it's own shitty diseases.

What's up with that kid's weird eyes?

He was probably drugged up, because who the hell would want to wear a sonic costume like that w/a blue fanny pack?
